 New Method of Horse Tanning.

The stage of what was until re- gently known as the Imperial theater, in the Westminster acquarlum, says a London paper, has been turned into a circus, where illustrations will for some time to come be given of a new method of tanning and breaking horses Prof. Leon. who has made a reputation as the "MeXican horse tamer.n but who is in reality na- tive of Australia, gave a private exhibition on Saturday of the means by " which he is enabled 10 make the most vicous horse man ageable. His illustrations were accompanied by a lecture. He said he looked upon horse. break ing as a science which hal never hitherto been improved upon, and he had no doubt that all the imper
 
 fections in the tempers of horses were due to the imperfect of breaking-in. The horse was not naturally vicious; it was vicious men who made him so. The syS. tenn he had introduced was humane in in it's character, but of course necessitated punishment from time to time punishment, however devoid of cruelty. The professor then proceeded to illustrate his theory. X horse was stationed in the eircus-preSumably a vlcous beast which had come that day from Battersea to be trained, his owner moi having been able to em- him.

LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.

TAzEwELL G. H., Va, July 2, 'S7
Virginians have ever been noted for
their hospitality, and of the fact that
this commendable characteristic of
social life still adheres TO thom very
closely can bear personal testi

we'll, Wise, Russell, Dickenson and
Buchanan, through which I have
travelled on horseback during three
weeks, are very mountainous, with
scarcely square mile of level ground
In them, but the soil is productive if
properly cultivated. The habits of
the people are of the most primitive
character, and their wants are few.
Their houses are generally small, and
rudely constructed, secluded among
the hills, with nothing more than a
bride path leading to many of them,
but within these rude habitations
reign happiness and contentment
The people are intelligent to de.
gree almost surprising when we re-
member the meagre opportunities for
acquiring information which thev
possess.
A large majority of the voters of
the counties have named are Re.

be called. They are for Blaine al

with respect to the mail service on
tho Norfolk & Western train No. l

which leave here at I:2O a. m. and z

it will result in an immediate improve

clerks on both trains but on tho
principle that half loaf is better
than none, the people will feel that a
great point has been gained in the
promotion of the business interests
of the city if only the Pocahontas
train shall be equipped with regular
mail facilities. Great delay and in
convenience result from the lack of
these facilities on train No. 1, it is

H. w Grady, of the Atlanta Con-

Minor Burke said to day that there
was purpose to publish n paper in

object of the paper: ga prince of the

OF the fourteen great states of the
South that are outstriping The rest
of the states in the ratio of their pro.
gress, and gaining in wealth at the
rate of nearly 5000, 100000 a year.
